This is exactly right. Also, you don't need to have rookies in there messing the good guys up and pissing them off so they don't come back.

Default maybe

Lee- I would suggest doing a 13.5 and slower class and a mod class. stock is just not fast enough to have much fun. The 13.5 or 19 turn motors are plenty fast to have fun with and if you dont have enough for bolth that and mod then just put them together. Its not my track just a suggestion.

Just my two cents! But I think you could be creating a double edge sword by doing that! Ive raced for year's and raced with drivers or where better than I. However by racing WITH those guys made me want to get better! Thats what made me want to come back and race sometimes twice a week! So that Next time I raced the Factory or at some point Factory I could hang a lap or two!

Default Just my $.02

If a person is regularly stomping the field in 13.5T, give them the chance to move up to mod. bring them up gradually, always give them a challenge, keep it fun! "cannonballs" tearing up the field is just gonna cause hard feelings.
Just my take on it.
